For the record, I haven't ever eaten any.

You've been too busy tossing plastic bags on beaches.

Probably burned down those black churches, too.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Six-pack holders are more of my thing.

There's gotta be a better name for that thing than six pack holder.

According to multiple posts on FB, my sister in law thinks we should feed all the starving kids in the world and clean up plastic garbage on the beaches before anything is done to restore the cathedral.

There's a of retardation going around the last couple of days. Sorry to hear your sister in law caught it.

I find that quite disturbing, because today I was chatting with someone about Brexit and he interjected some unrelated opinions, those very talking points from FB.

Thought it was a bit odd at the time , but I guess he saw them on FB and had a need to 're-broadcast' them. :bleeding:

Just shows you the power of the platform.

Flipper snippers.  Six rings of death.  This one would probably sound good in German.

Sechs Ringe des Todes, according to Google.

Not really cool.

I guess we'll wait for a real german speaker to come around. :D

Not enough Identity politics, (suppressed now) tweets from a state-subsidised student "trade union", yet showing some problems with basic French:

objectivement c'est votre délire de petits blancs », a ajouté celle qui est aussi membre du bureau national de l'organisation.

Un autre responsable de l'Unef, Édouard Le Bert, qui se présente sur Twitter comme membre du bureau national du syndicat, a publié de son côté un message moqueur et minimaliste : « Ca y est drame national, une charpente de cathédrale brûle ».]« Je m'en fiche de Notre-Dame car je m'en fiche de l'histoire de France ». Ce message publié lundi soir sur Twitter par la vice-présidente de l'Unef Lille, Hafsa Askar, quelques heures après l'incendie de la cathédrale de Paris, a suscité de nombreuses réactions indignées.

« On s'en balek [on s'en fout, NDLR] objectivement c'est votre délire de petits blancs », a ajouté celle qui est aussi membre du bureau national de l'organisation.

Nice to see commies (Edouard Bert) hand in hand with islamists (Hafsa)!  :lol:

Executive summary:

"I don't care about Notre Dame because I don't care about French history." (Honesty at last!)

" How people are going to cry about wooden pieces. I swear by Allah you love too much French identidy (...)We don't give a F@ck about it, that's your whitey trip."

"National drama, a cathedral framework burns."

They have a point.

French society forgave teaching them to care & fails at including their immigrants in the broader French identity.

New York police arrest man with petrol in St Patrick's Cathedral
18 April 2019 

St Patrick's is a Catholic cathedral in Manhattan built in the 19th Century

A man has been arrested after walking into New York's St Patrick's Cathedral carrying two full petrol cans, lighter fluid and lighters, police say.

They say guards confronted the 37-year-old as he entered the Manhattan church on Wednesday evening.

He spilt gasoline on the ground and officers took him into custody.

:secret:

The one who fails at basic French is a leader in one of the main student "trade unions". She fails because of her anti-French bigotry not the other way around. After all, as a student, she should be able to write a tweet.  :D
And most immigrants feel included in the French identy or at don't have a problem with it, except those into Identity politics and/or hating France and French culture, namely islamists but not just them, for instance black racialists too claiming "black face" , a US concept, for an Eschylus play.

Identity all of the way for them but for whiteys, no.  Another broad and meaningless concept in a French setting, imported from the US identity politics.  :rolleyes:
